Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Victor Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hidalgo Montoya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown comes to the cage accompanied by Don't You Give Your Love Away . Montoya is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by El Toro. On his way into the cage it seems that Victor Brown has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Victor Brown seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
