Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Scaredy McScared (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Whissell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Whissell is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rose Of Sharon. On his way into the cage it seems that Scaredy McScared has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Scaredy McScared seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
