Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bjorn Lannister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oliver Stoned (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stoned has chosen Dr. Dre - The Watcher as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bjorn Lannister has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bjorn Lannister seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
