Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Myles Grady (ranked 2235 p4p, 261 weight class) and Rudolf Kleinschmidt (ranked 439 p4p, 62 weight class). Grady comes to the cage accompanied by Post Malone - Rockstar. Kleinschmidt is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by DMX- It's hot and hell is dark. On his way into the cage it seems that Myles Grady has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Myles Grady seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
