Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Millard Masters (ranked 1094 p4p, 457 weight class) and Ricky Luciano (ranked 66 p4p, 29 weight class). Masters's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Enter the Sandman. Millard Masters had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!

Main event

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kazuo Takashi (ranked 55 p4p, 600 weight class) and Anthony Epolito (ranked 9 p4p, 70 weight class). Takashi's entrance music is 吉田兄弟 Rising. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Kazuo Takashi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kazuo Takashi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
