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