Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Troy Slamen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronald Belford Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slamen comes to the cage accompanied by Jaws Theme. Scott has chosen Big Balls by AC/DC as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Troy Slamen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Troy Slamen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
