Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Carl Range (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Bohlin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bohlin is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kanashimi wo Yasashisa Ni by Little by Little. On his way into the cage it seems that Carl Range has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carl Range seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Oliver Pronser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mr Tumble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oliver Pronser had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
