Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Miles O Brien (ranked 1660 p4p, 2173 weight class) and Luigi Bonifacio (ranked 201 p4p, 261 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think O Brien might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wu Tang Clan - Bring Da Ruckus. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bonifacio 's choice of entrance music: Karate - Kennedy. Luigi Bonifacio has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Miles O Brien's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tom Dirk (ranked 687 p4p, 998 weight class) and Joey Deertay (ranked 89 p4p, 120 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Tom Dirk has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tom Dirk seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
