Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mario Eikmeyer (ranked 2388 p4p, 3056 weight class) and Art Vincent Dela Cruz (ranked 252 p4p, 316 weight class). Dela Cruz has chosen Im ready as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mario Eikmeyer has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mario Eikmeyer seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Scot Harwath (ranked 2217 p4p, 23044 weight class) and Chuck Lee (ranked 317 p4p, 769 weight class). Lee is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Titties and Coke "subliminal messages". Harwath has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Chuck Lee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
