Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Moore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phil Story (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Story is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Chase the Ace. On his way into the cage it seems that Kyle Moore has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kyle Moore seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
