Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vitor Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Smoke Serpent Ft. Rakaa Iriscience - Jiu Jitsu. On his way into the cage it seems that Tyson Taylor has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tyson Taylor seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
