Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Kerouac (ranked 1843 p4p, 1319 weight class) and Jimmie Vinge (ranked 295 p4p, 207 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Jack Kerouac has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jack Kerouac seems to be OK!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between JD Drake (ranked 2172 p4p, 2368 weight class) and Jussi Roipe (ranked 117 p4p, 128 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Drake might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Born in the USA by - Bruce Springstein. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nord Licht (ranked 332 p4p, 501 weight class) and Peter Kowalski (ranked 50 p4p, 71 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Nord Licht has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nord Licht seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
