Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Cunnigham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Guster Spencer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cunnigham might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jeremy. On his way into the cage it seems that Jeremy Cunnigham has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jeremy Cunnigham seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
