Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Trent Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergio Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pope comes to the cage accompanied by LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It . On his way into the cage it seems that Trent Pope has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Trent Pope seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Ratskin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Priebcko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ratskin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Carolus Rex" by Sabaton. Priebcko has chosen Sweet Dreams as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
