Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Royce Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blayne Hawke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, With You - Linkin Park. Hawke has chosen Send the Pain Below as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Royce Gracie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Royce Gracie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
