Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Josh Kirkland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Umberto Duran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kirkland kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is My Life Be Like- by GRITS. Duran has chosen Hatebreed - Live for this as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Josh Kirkland has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Josh Kirkland seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
