Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kai Roe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miles DAvis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). DAvis has chosen Miles DAvis - someday my prince will come as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Kai Roe has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kai Roe seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
