Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adam Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lenny Mclean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mclean has chosen Oasis - F**king in the bushes as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Adam Jones has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Adam Jones seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
