Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nick Rodriquez (ranked 4641 p4p, 2614 weight class) and Sergei MiG (ranked 520 p4p, 311 weight class). MiG has chosen Zombie as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Nick Rodriquez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nick Rodriquez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov (ranked 451 p4p, 706 weight class) and Nicky Spite (ranked 67 p4p, 123 weight class). Nurmagomedov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dagestan (Remix). 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.
