Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between The Island King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Solomon Samael (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Samael has chosen Warrior as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the ring it seems that The Island King has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily The Island King seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
