Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Alaniz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benjamin Ruggiero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alaniz comes to the cage accompanied by DMX - What's My Name? . Ruggiero has chosen Bonobo - The Sicilians as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Charlie Alaniz has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Charlie Alaniz seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
