Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ren Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie comes to the cage accompanied by "Shining Down" by Lupe Fiasco. On his way into the cage it seems that Ren Gracie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ren Gracie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jakob Tyler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Collins's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Beginning of the End. Tyler is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Throw the Heat - Mortician. Jakob Tyler told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
