Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sean Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Conner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Price might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Twisted Sister - The Price. Conner has chosen Godsmack - Time Bomb as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Sean Price has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sean Price seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
