Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hard Core (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Private Pile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pile is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Jelly Doughnut. On his way into the cage it seems that Hard Core has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hard Core seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
