Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jay Z (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oleg Aschenbreaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Z's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Haters. Aschenbreaker has chosen Feuer Frei as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jay Z has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jay Z seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
