Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Violent Femme (ranked 733 p4p, 1185 weight class) and Peter Petersson (ranked 77 p4p, 119 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Violent Femme has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Violent Femme seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mate Orsic (ranked 876 p4p, 845 weight class) and Red Crow (ranked 131 p4p, 127 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Orsic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to KRS One - Rappaz R. N. Dainja. Mate Orsic could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Red Crow's chin.
