Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ramone Rocksaw (ranked 208 p4p, 180 weight class) and Cooper Roos (ranked 33 p4p, 27 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Roos's choice of entrance music: EASY MONEY. On his way into the cage it seems that Ramone Rocksaw has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ramone Rocksaw seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
