Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bryant Davis (ranked 272 p4p, 842 weight class) and Shu Fang Tzeng (ranked 20 p4p, 67 weight class). Davis's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rocky Road. Tzeng has chosen Mantra Chant as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bryant Davis has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bryant Davis seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
