Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Luger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Artie Lange (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Luger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Right Here, Right Now - Fatboy Slim. Lange has chosen Fire - Bruce Springsteen as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Shane Luger has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Shane Luger seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
