Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between James Hackett (ranked 149 p4p, 399 weight class) and Azacca Trounvouche (ranked 18 p4p, 54 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hackett might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Foe Tha Love of Money. Trounvouche has chosen Wanted Dread & Alive as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that James Hackett has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily James Hackett seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
