Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Luke Skywalker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Hardy's choice of entrance music: I shot the Sheriff. On his way into the cage it seems that Luke Skywalker has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Luke Skywalker seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
