Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Diego Cabbanas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and M J Shain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cabbanas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to For Those About To Rock, (We Salute You) - AC/DC. Shain has chosen Thunderstruck as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Diego Cabbanas has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Diego Cabbanas seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
