Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Terry Tonbridge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hideo Kuze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tonbridge might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Cumshots - I Drink Alone. Kuze has chosen Kenji Kawai's Making of a Cyborg as his entrance music. Terry Tonbridge has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ken Cornwall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Durden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cornwall comes into the arena with The Lucky Bullets "Folsom Prison Blues" blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Ken Cornwall has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ken Cornwall seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
