Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arturo Atunes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeremy Stapleton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stapleton is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Stick To Your Guns - Against Them All. On his way into the cage it seems that Arturo Atunes has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Arturo Atunes seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
