Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andre Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Sherk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hardy comes to the cage accompanied by Ambitionz Az A Ridah. Sherk has chosen Divinations by Mastodon as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Andre Hardy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Andre Hardy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
