Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carney Duffy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Moe Lester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duffy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Brawl - Bloody spit. On his way into the cage it seems that Carney Duffy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carney Duffy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
