Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vinnie Vincent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Valko Dragov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dragov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Go to Sleep - Eminem, Obie Trice, & DMX. On his way into the cage it seems that Vinnie Vincent has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vinnie Vincent seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
