Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between William Kent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shiga Braun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kent might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fabolous- Imma Do It. On his way into the cage it seems that William Kent has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily William Kent seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
