Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cole Flynn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicky Brindley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Flynn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Anthem For The Underdog. On his way into the cage it seems that Cole Flynn has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cole Flynn seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Break (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Van Deinsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Break comes to the cage accompanied by Slippin. The crowd seem to be enjoying Van Deinsen's choice of entrance music: Bonafide - Dirtbound. On his way into the cage it seems that Jack Break has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jack Break seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
