Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Karry Divine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glenn Hughes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hughes has chosen Macho Man by the Village People as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Karry Divine has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Karry Divine seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
