Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gomer Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sebasti Alvarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jacobs comes into the arena with Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting blaring out of the sound system. Alvarez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks. On his way into the cage it seems that Gomer Jacobs has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gomer Jacobs seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
