Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Randy Callaway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tendai Mtarawira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Callaway might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Scraped . The crowd seem to be enjoying Mtarawira's choice of entrance music: the beast tribute. On his way into the cage it seems that Randy Callaway has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Randy Callaway seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
