Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jewel Diaz (ranked 730 p4p, 1340 weight class) and Twea King (ranked 91 p4p, 159 weight class). Diaz's entrance music is Andre Nickatina, Drought Season. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Jewel Diaz has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jewel Diaz seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damagon Ench�rya (ranked 340 p4p, 88 weight class) and Song Turillo (ranked 56 p4p, 15 weight class). Ench�rya kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blaxcaliber. 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?
