Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Convicted Kelly (ranked 4907 p4p, 2261 weight class) and Frankie Rodriguez (ranked 523 p4p, 298 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kelly might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bump and grind. On his way into the cage it seems that Convicted Kelly has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Convicted Kelly seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
