Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aristides Abel (ranked 1052 p4p, 1110 weight class) and Gurizuri Nakamura (ranked 151 p4p, 162 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Bob McDonald (ranked 390 p4p, 850 weight class) and Gauthier Delsarte (ranked 11 p4p, 25 weight class). McDonald comes to the cage accompanied by Ray Wylie Hubbard - Redneck Mother. Delsarte has chosen Ah Non Cest Terrible as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
