Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sheldon Teste (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Bartowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Teste kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Wanna Rock. On his way into the cage it seems that Sheldon Teste has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sheldon Teste seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
