On his way into the cage it seems that Alan Sansing has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alan Sansing seems to be OK!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Romeo Hernanes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyson Hollyfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hernanes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Awolnation - Sail. Hollyfield has chosen Paris as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
