Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Red Greene (ranked 32 p4p, 295 weight class) and Jerry Short (ranked 4 p4p, 16 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Short's choice of entrance music: Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger. On his way into the cage it seems that Red Greene has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Red Greene seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
