Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Givens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Block (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Givens kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Slaughtered. On his way into the cage it seems that Tommy Givens has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tommy Givens seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
