Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Eduardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Spencer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eduardo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Numb. On his way into the cage it seems that Carlos Eduardo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carlos Eduardo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ash Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aydine Antona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Campbell's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sun Poison and Skin Cancer. Antona has chosen Laid to Rest by Lamb of God as his entrance music. 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.
