Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Thorvald Stauning (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Luc Picard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stauning's entrance music is Rollin- Limp Bizkit. A fine choice. Picard comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Picard Song kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Thorvald Stauning has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Thorvald Stauning seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lotus Tinkle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leo Totsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tinkle's entrance music is Jungle Jam. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Lotus Tinkle has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lotus Tinkle seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ernest Doyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Governor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doyle's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers. The crowd seem to be enjoying Governor's choice of entrance music: Didgeridoo. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
