Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rufus Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnie Ballantine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kick out the Jams by The MC5s. On his way into the cage it seems that Rufus Lee has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rufus Lee seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
