Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Flagon Sackett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Clones Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sackett comes to the cage accompanied by RATM: Killing in the Name. Clones Jr is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Pusha T - Blocka. On his way into the cage it seems that Flagon Sackett has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Flagon Sackett seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
