Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Victor Banuelos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Lytle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lytle is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Light's Out. On his way into the cage it seems that Victor Banuelos has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Victor Banuelos seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leif Ericssonl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Al Al Kaholic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ericssonl kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Battle for Asgard. Al Kaholic has chosen Cant Be Touched as his entrance music. 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.
