Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Vevrin Betlach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Betlach kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Zombie. Griffin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Claw. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Murdock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Smokudju Womba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Murdock comes to the cage accompanied by You're Blind. Womba has chosen Ludacris - Blueberry Yum Yum as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Matt Murdock has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Matt Murdock seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
