Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tim Hansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Konner McKregor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hansen comes to the cage accompanied by AC/DC - Big Gun. On his way into the cage it seems that Tim Hansen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tim Hansen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
