Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Simon Frazier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Streets (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Streets's choice of entrance music: ONE TIME' by Jai One. On his way into the cage it seems that Simon Frazier has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Simon Frazier seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
