Carry That Weight kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Tim Adams has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tim Adams seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nuppu Lupaus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grigori Rasputin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
