Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Harold Hamilton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Shadow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shadow has chosen Scandal / Shunkan Sentimental as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Harold Hamilton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Harold Hamilton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
