Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Diomedes Argosian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Franklin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Argosian kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "Scarface Groove" by Paris. Franklin has chosen Slaughterhouse-WoodStock as his entrance music. 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 Dante Woods has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dante Woods seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
