Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jab Buddha (ranked 1615 p4p, 993 weight class) and Riel Proh (ranked 210 p4p, 124 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Buddha might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rhyme Asylum - Smoke Screens and Pipe Dreams. On his way into the cage it seems that Jab Buddha has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jab Buddha seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
