Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marques Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bart Blackman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes to the cage accompanied by Daylight. The crowd seem to be enjoying Blackman's choice of entrance music: Rick Derringer - Real American. On his way into the cage it seems that Marques Jackson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marques Jackson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
