Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Christian Clooten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauricio Rizzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rizzo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hate It Or Love It. On his way into the cage it seems that Christian Clooten has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Christian Clooten seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
