Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jean Claude Van Damme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and jt Wash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wash has chosen The Fighter as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Jean Claude Van Damme has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jean Claude Van Damme seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
