Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ilya Mstislav Volkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Kehoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Volkov's entrance music is Россия. A fine choice. Kehoe is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Master of Puppets" by Metallica. On his way into the cage it seems that Ilya Mstislav Volkov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ilya Mstislav Volkov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kira Miyata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eliah Marshal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miyata kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Boa - Energetic. Marshal has chosen "Straight Outta Compton" by NWA as his entrance music. Kira Miyata has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
