Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ollor Nothing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jordan Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown has chosen we will rock you as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Ollor Nothing has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ollor Nothing seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
