Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vladivar Zubrowka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Hurley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hurley has chosen Chase & Status feat. Takura-No Problem as his entrance music. Vladivar Zubrowka had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Vladivar Zubrowka has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sean Yuen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeremy Cunnigham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cunnigham has chosen Jeremy as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Sean Yuen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sean Yuen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
