Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jules Chua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dean Winchester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chua comes into the arena with Eye of the Tiger by Survivor blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Jules Chua has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jules Chua seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
