Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gary White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martinez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Puya -- Sal Pa' Fuera. White has chosen Hollywood Undead - No. 5 as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jesus Martinez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jesus Martinez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
