Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between War Brace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Finley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brace comes to the cage accompanied by Snoop DoGG. Finley has chosen Welcome to the Jungle as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that War Brace has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily War Brace seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luciano Bivar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Desmond Miles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bivar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is AC/DC Back In Black. Miles has chosen Assasins creed 3 trailer. as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Luciano Bivar has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Luciano Bivar seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Spede Jussi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matti Nykanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jussi has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Spede Jussi looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
