Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zac Rice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bad Company. On his way into the cage it seems that Jim Smith has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jim Smith seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Paul Hoon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Belfort (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thiago Belfort struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Paul Hoon had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
