Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ali Grigsby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chinnawat Shinawatra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grigsby kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Happy - Pharrell Williams. On his way into the cage it seems that Ali Grigsby has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ali Grigsby seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
