Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Tip (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Davis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Deftones - Beware. Tip has chosen Roy Jones Jr - Can't Be Touched as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mickey Davis has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mickey Davis seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
