Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leo Sonnen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tetsuya Shiroo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sonnen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Scream Aim Fire. Shiroo has chosen The Gazette / Filth In The Beauty as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Leo Sonnen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Leo Sonnen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
