Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leo Kaiser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Rivera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kaiser kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Oben am jungen Rhein. Rivera has chosen Your Hand in Mine as his entrance music. 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.

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