Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between PJ Benn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brandon Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Taylor's choice of entrance music: EYE OF THE TIGER. 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.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Groyce Racie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Bross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bross has chosen Gangstarr - Who Got Gunz as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Groyce Racie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Groyce Racie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
