Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Freddy White (ranked 1992 p4p, 234 weight class) and Johnny Vegas (ranked 1325 p4p, 153 weight class). Vegas is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ace Of Spades by Motorhead. Johnny Vegas struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Freddy White has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Freddy White seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
