Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zlatko Zahovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zahovic has chosen Senorita-Vince Staples as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the ring it seems that Andrew Morgan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Andrew Morgan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
