Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seaville Bri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cedric Myton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Myton has chosen Yoyo as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Seaville Bri has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Seaville Bri seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Doug Graves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bang Bang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Graves's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Alvarez. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jie Liu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yin Tao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Liu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Cinematic Orchestra ft. Roots Manuva - All Things To All Men. Tao has chosen Philip Bailey - Walking on the Chinese Wall as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
