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