Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Plant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Bauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Plant might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Au innebunit salcamii. On his way into the cage it seems that Marcus Plant has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marcus Plant seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
