Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kina Penueta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Penueta's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Manu Samoa. Williams has chosen A Kind of Magic as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Kina Penueta has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kina Penueta seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Waleed Malik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Ford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malik's entrance music is Can't Be Touched. A fine choice. Ford has chosen For What It's Worth as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
