Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Glover (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith has chosen Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys - Southern Flavor as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Jason Glover has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jason Glover seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
