Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Herb Everyday (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tore Bross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Everyday comes to the cage accompanied by blood. Bross is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Straight Outta Compton. Tore Bross struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Herb Everyday has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Herb Everyday seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
