Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dooog Partaaay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jaruis Jerome (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jerome has chosen Sandstorm-Darude as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Dooog Partaaay has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dooog Partaaay seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
