Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jax Teller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Moa Soto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Soto's choice of entrance music: kill switch engage-when darkness falls. On his way into the cage it seems that Jax Teller has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jax Teller seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
