Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Elliot Johnson (ranked 6776 p4p, 7401 weight class) and Elliot Conway (ranked 506 p4p, 527 weight class). Johnson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tyron Woodley . On his way into the cage it seems that Elliot Johnson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Elliot Johnson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
