Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Faze Wrecker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ghengis Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wrecker's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, AC/DC - Chase the Ace. Congo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ghostface - After the Smoke is Clear. On his way into the cage it seems that Faze Wrecker has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Faze Wrecker seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
