Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chayton Catawanee (ranked 4648 p4p, 2089 weight class) and Jack Nice (ranked 460 p4p, 243 weight class). Nice has chosen “Warped” RHCP as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Chayton Catawanee has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chayton Catawanee seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
