Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Stumpy Rutherford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Allanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rutherford comes to the ring accompanied by Why Can't We Be Friends?. The crowd seem to be enjoying Allanson's choice of entrance music: How I Could Just Kill A Man. On his way into the ring it seems that Stumpy Rutherford has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Stumpy Rutherford seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
