Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Conor Murphy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Wrexham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Murphy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drop Kick Murphys - Shipping up to Boston. On his way into the cage it seems that Conor Murphy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Conor Murphy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
