Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andreas Jonsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown's entrance music is Pink Floyd: Have a Cigar. A fine choice. Jonsson has chosen Lover's Concerto by Kelly Chen as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Tyson Brown has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tyson Brown seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Brugnolo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tsatsu Gomi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brugnolo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Vasco Rossi - Fammi Godere. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
