Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ras Butten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jakob Tyler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Butten kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Apoptygma Berzerk - Fade to Black. Tyler has chosen Throw the Heat - Mortician as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Ras Butten has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ras Butten seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
