Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Yoko Gushiken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrion Lannister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lannister has chosen the whores of westeros as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rian MacFarlane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacFarlane's entrance music is The Foggy Dew. A fine choice. Parker has chosen Battery - Metallica as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Rian MacFarlane has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rian MacFarlane seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
