Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adam Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Frazier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by Monster. The crowd seem to be enjoying Frazier's choice of entrance music: Conquerers - M.O.P.. On his way into the cage it seems that Adam Smith has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Adam Smith seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Starship Pain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rhaegar Targaryen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
