Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Oleg Osbourne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Spurro Sparre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Osbourne's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dropkick Murphys - Warriors Code. Sparre has chosen Sexy and I Know It as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Oleg Osbourne has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Oleg Osbourne seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
