Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and DJ Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. On his way into the cage it seems that David Collins has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily David Collins seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
