Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mike Dweller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xavier Dominguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dominguez has chosen down with the sickness as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mike Dweller has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mike Dweller seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
