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