Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hercules Hoost (ranked 771 p4p, 1837 weight class) and James Howlett (ranked 76 p4p, 193 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Howlett's choice of entrance music: Indestructible. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that James Howlett was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shape Shifter (ranked 576 p4p, 453 weight class) and James Crazyhorse (ranked 74 p4p, 55 weight class). Crazyhorse is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: They Don’t Care About Us. On his way into the cage it seems that Shape Shifter has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Shape Shifter seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
