Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pitbull Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorje Slayer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slayer has chosen Otep - Battle Ready as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Pitbull Alves has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pitbull Alves seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
