Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nathaniel Clegg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and A Striker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clegg's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Il mercenario L'arena by Ennio Morricone. On his way into the cage it seems that Nathaniel Clegg has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nathaniel Clegg seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
