Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Josh Aldarisio (ranked 3178 p4p, 3592 weight class) and Malcolm King (ranked 369 p4p, 405 weight class). King has chosen YoungBoy Never Broke Again – White Teeth as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Josh Aldarisio has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Josh Aldarisio seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arriorus Adee (ranked 959 p4p, 913 weight class) and Wulfgang Bleak (ranked 102 p4p, 97 weight class). Bleak has chosen Du Hast - Rammstein as his entrance music. Arriorus Adee had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Wulfgang Bleak has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Arriorus Adee's chin.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hiroshi Gomi (ranked 2162 p4p, 741 weight class) and Wayne Williams (ranked 135 p4p, 58 weight class). Gomi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Only Thing They Fear is You- DOOM Eternal OST. 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.
