Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dark Soul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cedrick Stevenson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Dark Soul has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dark Soul seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nathan Drake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eugenio Caporale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Nathan Drake had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
