Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Giuseppe Broadus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Marley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marley has chosen dont worry as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Giuseppe Broadus has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Giuseppe Broadus seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Markku Osteri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kukulcan Ah Puch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
