Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between JT Spirit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Dunsmore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spirit comes to the cage accompanied by Nujabes - Feather. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dunsmore's choice of entrance music: Rock Superstar. On his way into the cage it seems that JT Spirit has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily JT Spirit seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
