Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fred Ettish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Usain Watts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ettish comes to the cage accompanied by With Karate I'll Kick Your Ass. Watts has chosen 9000 Watts as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Fred Ettish has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Fred Ettish seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
