Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chris Bosh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dakker Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Chris Bosh has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chris Bosh seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nate Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Slim Thug (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barnes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cory Deegan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shia LaBeouf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Deegan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Land of Confusion. LaBeouf is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Riptide. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
