Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yosuke Kanehara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergei Klitschko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Klitschko has chosen Monster by Skillet as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Yosuke Kanehara had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Lilburn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taylor Hamasaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that John Lilburn has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily John Lilburn seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
