Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Glenn Benton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yusuke Urameshi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Benton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shed Seven - Bully Boy. Urameshi has chosen Styles P & Uncle Murda - Poppin Bottle as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Glenn Benton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Glenn Benton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joey Rodinerio Bravo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jarred Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bravo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Damian Marley - Confrontation. Jarred Rose will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
