Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yan Ti San (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roscoe Conwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). San comes to the cage accompanied by Brainfreeze (part 1) - DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist. Conwell has chosen David Bowie ft David Guetta - Just For One Day (Heroes) as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Yan Ti San has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Yan Ti San seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
