Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Joe Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stew Sauced (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jacobs's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jonny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. Sauced has chosen Irish Jig as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Billy Joe Jacobs has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Billy Joe Jacobs seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
