Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Charles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Charles comes to the ring accompanied by Voodoo Child. Carter is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by This Generation. Nick Carter struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the ring it seems that John Charles has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily John Charles seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
