Caraan comes to the cage accompanied by TubThumping(I get Knockdown). Nader is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: This Means War. On his way into the cage it seems that Cedric Caraan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cedric Caraan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
