Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Karpushev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Boxer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Joe Boxer will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Gorden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gorden has chosen Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jesus Gonzalez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jesus Gonzalez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
