Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Terrell Knight (ranked 264 p4p, 244 weight class) and Simon Soap (ranked 36 p4p, 32 weight class). Knight kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is HonestKey- Keep Fightin'. The crowd seem to be enjoying Soap's choice of entrance music: Clean Up - Barney The Purple Dinosaur. On his way into the cage it seems that Terrell Knight has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Terrell Knight seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
