Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between James Jolley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Haji Muakbar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Guinness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rob Sparger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guinness's entrance music is What's The Difference Between Me And You. A fine choice. Sparger has chosen Pledge Allegiance to the Swag by T.I. feat. Rick Ross as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Arthur Guinness has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Arthur Guinness seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
