Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Thiago Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hank Rockford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smith might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mobb Deep - Amerikaz Nightmare. Rockford has chosen Click Click Boom as his entrance music. Thiago Smith could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Hank Rockford's chin.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Abel Bloodgood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Smashin Heads (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Heads has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. On his way into the cage it seems that Abel Bloodgood has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Abel Bloodgood seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
