Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Howe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fu Manchu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manchu has chosen La donna e Mobile as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Kyle Howe has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kyle Howe seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
