Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sonny Ray Razor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Blade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Razor comes to the cage accompanied by ONYX Feat. Biohazard - Judgment Night. On his way into the cage it seems that Sonny Ray Razor has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sonny Ray Razor seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
