Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brad Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and BJ Wood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes's entrance music is Red Right Hand - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. A fine choice. Barnes has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. On his way into the cage it seems that Brad Barnes has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Brad Barnes seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Randy Faulkner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Risto Jaloviina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jaloviina is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by UNKLE - Reign. Jaloviina has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
