Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bilabong Conrad (ranked 2860 p4p, 409 weight class) and Brutus Kowalski (ranked 2851 p4p, 406 weight class). Conrad comes to the cage accompanied by BonieM. Kowalski has chosen Pantera - Fucking Hostile as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Bilabong Conrad has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bilabong Conrad seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
