Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rascal Donkashane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Two Chainz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chainz has chosen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hxD1Cnmn5s as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Rascal Donkashane has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rascal Donkashane seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Damien Sandow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Pendragon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sandow comes to the cage accompanied by Aint No Grave . I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Arthur Pendragon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
