Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Steve Long (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fenny Klorian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Long comes into the arena with Hallowed Ground - WASP blaring out of the sound system. Klorian has chosen Hong Kong - Mauro Picotto as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Steve Long has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Steve Long seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
