Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tim Armstrong (ranked 1180 p4p, 1239 weight class) and Aristides Abel (ranked 185 p4p, 193 weight class). Abel has chosen Express Yourself as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Tim Armstrong has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tim Armstrong seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
