Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Blaze Bailey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xavier David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bailey kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eminem - Lose Yourself. David has chosen Bring The Pain 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dan Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kung Lao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lao has chosen Mortal Kombat-Techno Kombat as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Calvin Thompson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Calvin Thompson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
