Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chris Infamous (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Cote (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Infamous's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Maino - All The Above. Cote has chosen Slaughterhouse-The One as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Chris Infamous has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chris Infamous seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
