Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Butter Bean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Reese (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

On his way into the ring it seems that Butter Bean has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Butter Bean seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
