Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Airforce Guile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stark has chosen Jay Z - Dig a Hole as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Airforce Guile has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Airforce Guile seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
