Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Balrog Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damien Roads (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson comes into the arena with Gary Clark Jr. - Bright Lights blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Balrog Johnson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Balrog Johnson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
