Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Silver Boo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Bateman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boo comes into the arena with BLUNT- The Iron Maiden blaring out of the sound system. Bateman has chosen Huey Lewis and The News - Hip to be Square as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Silver Boo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Silver Boo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
