Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between The Pyramide (ranked 3793 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Starr (ranked 4749 p4p, 0 weight class). Pyramide has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. On his way into the cage it seems that The Pyramide has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily The Pyramide seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
