Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joseph Ducreux (ranked 256 p4p, 166 weight class) and Bora Khan (ranked 34 p4p, 24 weight class). Khan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anzor Dankovich (ranked 31 p4p, 36 weight class) and Maximilian Bonaparte (ranked 3 p4p, 4 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Anzor Dankovich has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Anzor Dankovich seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
