Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gaius Alexander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kane Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alexander comes to the cage accompanied by Sweep the Leg. Jackson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Disintegrators by Megadeth kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Gaius Alexander has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gaius Alexander seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
