Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Fenix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sara McSlamm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sara McSlamm struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Marcus Fenix has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marcus Fenix seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
