Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Goraidh Armstrong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sosthene Ndikumana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Armstrong's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Devil's Dance Floor. On his way into the cage it seems that Goraidh Armstrong has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Goraidh Armstrong seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
