Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vitor Bahia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pat Benatar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benatar is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hit Me With Your Best Shot. On his way into the cage it seems that Vitor Bahia has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vitor Bahia seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brock Bateman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bell Marques (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bateman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Anberlin-True Faith. Marques has chosen Quiribamba as his entrance music. Bell Marques is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
