Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lance Thorn (ranked 840 p4p, 1445 weight class) and Jab Buddha (ranked 133 p4p, 203 weight class). Buddha has chosen Rhyme Asylum - Smoke Screens and Pipe Dreams as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Lance Thorn has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lance Thorn seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
