Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cosh Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Erikson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Erikson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: PrideFC. On his way into the cage it seems that Cosh Boy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cosh Boy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
