Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Hawk (ranked 58 p4p, 10 weight class) and Fagell McLovin (ranked 554 p4p, 77 weight class). Hawk comes to the cage accompanied by Deadwood. On his way into the cage it seems that Thomas Hawk has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Thomas Hawk seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
