Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ross Levrone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Rambo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Levrone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Accept - Balls to the wall. On his way into the cage it seems that Ross Levrone has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ross Levrone seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
