Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ash Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gerald Hodges (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Campbell's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sun Poison and Skin Cancer. 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 Gerald Hodges was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wolfgang Kratorius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alistair Overdose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kratorius comes to the cage accompanied by Coal Chamber - Big Truck. Overdose has chosen Powerthirst as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Wolfgang Kratorius has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Wolfgang Kratorius seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
