Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Buzz Killington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roy Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Killington's entrance music is America Fuck Yeah. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Buzz Killington has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Buzz Killington seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
