Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bob Probert (ranked 834 p4p, 1097 weight class) and Matija Maestro (ranked 125 p4p, 159 weight class). Maestro comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Shortwire - Reconfig kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Bob Probert has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bob Probert seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
