Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hoban Washburn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Ironsides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Washburn's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Magic Carpet Ride. On his way into the cage it seems that Hoban Washburn has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hoban Washburn seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
