Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gully God (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Al an (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). God comes to the cage accompanied by Mavado - Gangsta Nuh Play. On his way into the cage it seems that Gully God has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gully God seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
