Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Simon Adebisi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martell Hennessey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Hennessey's choice of entrance music: Oh My by: Roscoe Dash. On his way into the cage it seems that Simon Adebisi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Simon Adebisi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
