Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sol Goldstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamie Poppenstuff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goldstein might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nothing to Prove by H2O. On his way into the cage it seems that Sol Goldstein has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sol Goldstein seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
