Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carl Sherdog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kjell Dillon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dillon has chosen Pipes & Drums 1st Battalion Scots Guards as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Carl Sherdog has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carl Sherdog seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
