Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Julio Christ (ranked 670 p4p, 645 weight class) and Egor Kuznecov (ranked 42 p4p, 40 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Julio Christ has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Julio Christ seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lamar Gordon (ranked 197 p4p, 251 weight class) and Stoner Steve (ranked 28 p4p, 35 weight class). Gordon's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Coming Home - Ditty ft. Skylar Grey. 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.
