Spice is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sean Price - Hot ft. Rock [Kimbo Price Mixtape]. On his way into the cage it seems that Gennady Golovkin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gennady Golovkin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
