Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between La Tron Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Arnold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

On his way into the cage it seems that La Tron Carter has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily La Tron Carter seems to be OK!
