Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andrew West (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Apache Creed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paulo Lazaro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simbo Klice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Paulo Lazaro seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
