Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pedro Da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Velazquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Velazquez has chosen Before the Flood-"Valor and Vengeance" as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Pedro Da Silva has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pedro Da Silva seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
