Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nicholas Linnear (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tariq Kiss me where it smells (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kiss me where it smells has chosen Trae - asshole as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Tariq Kiss me where it smells was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ken Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davi Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Ken Kelly has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ken Kelly seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
