Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Doc Chillum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roque Barretto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chillum comes to the cage accompanied by High Hopes - Pink Floyd. Barretto has chosen Last Man Standing - By 4ft Fingers as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Doc Chillum has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Doc Chillum seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
