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