Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Rosenthal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lobsta Mang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mang has chosen B.O.B. as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Frank Rosenthal has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Frank Rosenthal seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
