Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Axel Van Dam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Zizzmen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van Dam comes to the cage accompanied by Beatdown - Gunman Joe. On his way into the cage it seems that Axel Van Dam has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Axel Van Dam seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
