Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Franky Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bear Grey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grey has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Franky Lee looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Soviet Russia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Masa Mallikas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Russia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Soviet National Anthem. On his way into the cage it seems that Soviet Russia has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Soviet Russia seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
