Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ethan Paul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kunta Kinte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paul comes into the arena with Volbeat-Warrior's call blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Ethan Paul has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ethan Paul seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
