Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Erik Ragnaar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunn comes to the cage accompanied by Audioslave - Exploder. Ragnaar has chosen Mustasch - Alpha Male as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Charles Gunn has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Charles Gunn seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
