Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Aldridge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Pee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aldridge kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Mother Fucker Of The Year by Motley Crue. On his way into the cage it seems that Marcus Aldridge has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marcus Aldridge seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
