Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damian Grabowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Schlock Leznar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grabowski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Roar. Leznar has chosen The Champ by Ghostface Killah as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Damian Grabowski has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Damian Grabowski seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
