Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Codi Gale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Kennedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gale comes into the arena with Gravity kills - Guilty blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Codi Gale has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Codi Gale seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
