Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tim Hansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silik Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hansen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, AC/DC - Big Gun. Hunt has chosen London Calling as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Tim Hansen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tim Hansen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cory Deegan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dav Rolling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Deegan comes into the arena with Land of Confusion blaring out of the sound system. Rolling has chosen Breathe by The Prodigy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
