Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Raz Matazz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doc Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matazz comes to the cage accompanied by Tool - Eulogy. Thomas has chosen Lunatic Fringe by Red Ryder as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Raz Matazz has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Raz Matazz seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
