Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Randy Orton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mitka Boycheck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orton comes to the cage accompanied by Paul Oakenfold - Ready Steady Go . Boycheck has chosen Парус as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Randy Orton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Randy Orton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
