Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Derek Blackley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Unbreakable (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blackley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shock To The System by Billy Idol. Unbreakable is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tool - Part of Me. 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.

On his way into the cage it seems that Emmanuel Baptiste has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Emmanuel Baptiste seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
