Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaime Sousa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kendric Dalton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sousa's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Papa Roach - Last Resort. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dalton's choice of entrance music: Senor. On his way into the cage it seems that Jaime Sousa has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jaime Sousa seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
