Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Keanu Reeves (ranked 2551 p4p, 3192 weight class) and Danny Trejo (ranked 325 p4p, 387 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Keanu Reeves has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Keanu Reeves seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peoples Champion (ranked 1297 p4p, 798 weight class) and Pete Tyler (ranked 157 p4p, 96 weight class). Champion comes to the cage accompanied by Aegukka.
