Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Martinez Eluard (ranked 2462 p4p, 264 weight class) and Kim Il Sung (ranked 3347 p4p, 345 weight class).

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Sanchez (ranked 1066 p4p, 121 weight class) and Finnish Experiment lV (ranked 351 p4p, 52 weight class). Sanchez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Duele El Carazon. On his way into the cage it seems that Jesus Sanchez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jesus Sanchez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
