Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alexandrew Song (ranked 5172 p4p, 467 weight class) and Porter Seeks (ranked 5547 p4p, 486 weight class). Song kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is How soon is now-The Smiths. On his way into the cage it seems that Alexandrew Song has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alexandrew Song seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
