Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Black Coleman (ranked 2182 p4p, 283 weight class) and Kisame Hoshigaki (ranked 2614 p4p, 326 weight class). Hoshigaki has chosen HMMM! as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Black Coleman has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Black Coleman seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Vee (ranked 299 p4p, 34 weight class) and John Wayne Gracie (ranked 625 p4p, 72 weight class). Vee comes to the cage accompanied by Da Mystery of Chessboxin by Wu-Tang Clan. Gracie has chosen Thriller by Michael Jackson as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
