Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Taizu Temujin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shape Shifter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Temujin comes to the cage accompanied by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvzVyAaZK1E. Shifter has chosen Der Dritte Raum - Trommelmaschine (Rmx) as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Taizu Temujin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Taizu Temujin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
