Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Figueson Deiveiredo (ranked 317 p4p, 925 weight class) and Ritanzo Benzo (ranked 39 p4p, 95 weight class). Deiveiredo comes to the cage accompanied by Mission Impossible - Adam Clayton. On his way into the cage it seems that Figueson Deiveiredo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Figueson Deiveiredo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Oscar Vogels (ranked 1023 p4p, 1356 weight class) and Jayson Tatum (ranked 128 p4p, 176 weight class).
