Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Christopher Lytle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Macadam Baird (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lytle's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Light's Out. Baird has chosen Remember the name as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Christopher Lytle has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Christopher Lytle seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
