Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Michel Rodalgo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tsrif Dnoces (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodalgo comes to the cage accompanied by Ace of Spades - By Motorhead. On his way into the cage it seems that Michel Rodalgo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Michel Rodalgo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tommy My Chick Bad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Royce Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). My Chick Bad kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Game Over. Gracie has chosen Devotion as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
