Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charon Hawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walker's entrance music is The Doors - Peace Frog. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Jack Walker has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jack Walker seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
