Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Erwin Hartmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shamar Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hartmann comes into the arena with LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out blaring out of the sound system. Jackson has chosen Freak on a Leash as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Erwin Hartmann has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Erwin Hartmann seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Victor Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mirko Filipovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Filipovic has chosen Wild Boys as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Mirko Filipovic was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
