Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Gordie Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Knuckle Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Gimme Shelter kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Gordie Green has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gordie Green seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
