Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mark Markus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Delgado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Juan Delgado will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Baekjae Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jase Newson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kim's entrance music is CANON in D Korean Version (with gayageum) . A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Baekjae Kim has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Baekjae Kim seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
