Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pedro Fedro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Khris Murphey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Murphey has chosen Back in Black as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Pedro Fedro has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pedro Fedro seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aze Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cezar Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Toro might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hate me or Get DIE tryn' - 50cent. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
