Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shi Fu Tu (ranked 215 p4p, 26 weight class) and Davie Brophy (ranked 283 p4p, 35 weight class). Fu Tu comes to the cage accompanied by Klendathu drop. Brophy has chosen Pantera - Walk as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Shi Fu Tu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Shi Fu Tu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
