Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Barry McLean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Fitch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fitch has chosen Motörhead - "Orgasmatron" as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Barry McLean has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Barry McLean seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
