Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Piotr Bukowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bukowski comes to the cage accompanied by Donatan, Gural, Sheller, Kaczor, Ry23, Rafi - Słowiańska krew. On his way into the cage it seems that Piotr Bukowski has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Piotr Bukowski seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robson Bryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diego Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
