Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sean Tallon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boreste Bardanos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bardanos has chosen My Kingdom Will Come as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Sean Tallon has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sean Tallon seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
