Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Christian Slaughter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waru Kuzuri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Slaughter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Crown - World Below. On his way into the cage it seems that Christian Slaughter has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Christian Slaughter seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
