Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rejinaldo Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan McLachlan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Roy Jones - Can't be touched. McLachlan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Verve - 'Love is Noise'. On his way into the cage it seems that Rejinaldo Silva has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rejinaldo Silva seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
