Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jirka Fukala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boby Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fukala kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Baby Bash featuring T-Pain. Lee is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lonnie G - Sweep. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Boby Lee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ron Mexico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcos Cavalcante Ribeiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mexico comes to the cage accompanied by I want war. Ron Mexico had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.6lbs, 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. On his way into the cage it seems that Ron Mexico has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ron Mexico seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
