Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seth Sexton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Khaliev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sexton comes into the arena with I'm too sexy - Right Said Fred blaring out of the sound system. Khaliev is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by T-Wayne - Nasty Freestyle. On his way into the ring it seems that Seth Sexton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Seth Sexton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
