Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bradley Boston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darrell Miles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miles has chosen Tupac - Only God Can Judge Me as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bradley Boston has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bradley Boston seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
