Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Larry Finley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Bobandy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Julio Amoroso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fellacio Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Amoroso's entrance music is Renegades of Funk - Rage Against The Machine. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Julio Amoroso has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Julio Amoroso seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
