Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Cody Easton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Goldman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Easton comes into the arena with Tech N9ne The Beast (Uncensored) blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Cody Easton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cody Easton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
