Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between The Guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hal Jordan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guy's entrance music is Old Spice Guy Intro. A fine choice. Jordan has chosen Dawn of the Dead by Does it Offend you, yeah? as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The Guy could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Hal Jordan's chin.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Vanilla Ice Cold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafa Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ice Cold's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Adrenaline!. Silva has chosen UFC Theme Song as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Vanilla Ice Cold has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vanilla Ice Cold seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
