Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tim Hague (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hague 's entrance music is UFC - Face the Pain. A fine choice. Coleman comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Got Money kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Tim Hague has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tim Hague seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
