Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Noirtier De Villefort (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikael Lindgren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Villefort comes to the cage accompanied by Hail Napoleon. The crowd seem to be enjoying Lindgren's choice of entrance music: Come With Me. On his way into the cage it seems that Noirtier De Villefort has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Noirtier De Villefort seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
