Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Robin Hood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iuraiah Vaber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vaber has chosen Crystal Castles - xxzxczx me as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Robin Hood has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Robin Hood seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
