Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Samson Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad West (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's entrance music is Bangarang by Skrillex. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Samson Jones has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Samson Jones seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
