Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rayray McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyeson Ledbetter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ledbetter has chosen Hero by Sevendust as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Rayray McDonald has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rayray McDonald seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
