Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Santas Bitch (ranked 325 p4p, 974 weight class) and Patrick Murphy (ranked 52 p4p, 118 weight class). Bitch's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Havana. On his way into the cage it seems that Santas Bitch has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Santas Bitch seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
