Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Marcel Cerdan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evan Patrick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cerdan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, French National Anthem. On his way into the cage it seems that Marcel Cerdan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marcel Cerdan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
