Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jury Hamilton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Watts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hamilton comes into the arena with Symphony 9 blaring out of the sound system. Watts has chosen Seek and Destroy as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jury Hamilton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jury Hamilton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
