Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ralph Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Hawking (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hawking has chosen Shady Lane as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Ralph Gracie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ralph Gracie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
