Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Wilson (ranked 3598 p4p, 6567 weight class) and Buck Nekkid (ranked 452 p4p, 615 weight class). Wilson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Under the knife. 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?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Thorvald Nansen (ranked 1974 p4p, 3837 weight class) and Kareem Oweet (ranked 224 p4p, 399 weight class). Nansen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Benny Jamz - Torden. Oweet is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by STR8 Gangstaism. On his way into the cage it seems that Thorvald Nansen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Thorvald Nansen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
