Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Iron Ispa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kamuf Larsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larsen has chosen I am Rock as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Iron Ispa has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Iron Ispa seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nelson Liriano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and B Schnitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these guys have really solid chins.
