Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Horst Schiller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Dime (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schiller's entrance music is Mad World. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Horst Schiller has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Horst Schiller seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
