Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Konrad Knudsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julian Gomez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kung Lao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lao's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rock Superstar by Cypress Hill. Silva comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Thunderstruck by AC/DC kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Kung Lao has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kung Lao seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
