Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Judge Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rey Mesterio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mesterio has chosen Be A Warrior as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Judge Nelson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Judge Nelson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
