Galt comes into the arena with State of the Union by Rise Against blaring out of the sound system. Harvey has chosen Bitches Brew as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that John Galt has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily John Galt seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
