Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Hendrix Erlanderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grant Fairtex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Erlanderson's entrance music is Voodoo Chile. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Hendrix Erlanderson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hendrix Erlanderson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between dave batista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ismail Kasyanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). batista's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, rock star. dave batista had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. This should be a great matchup!
