Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Holliday (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Duthie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holliday's entrance music is Break Stuff. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that John Holliday has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily John Holliday seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
