Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lao Shin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adolf Hitman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shin comes into the arena with Shaolin Chamber of Death blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Lao Shin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lao Shin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
