Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miklo Velka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Balrog Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Velka's entrance music is Cypress Hill - Insane In The Membrane. A fine choice. Johnson has chosen Gary Clark Jr. - Bright Lights as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Miklo Velka has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Miklo Velka seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Moyses Mattos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Tyson's choice of entrance music: Mary had a little lamb. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
