Co-main event

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Billington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergi Lutsenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Billington might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur.... On his way into the cage it seems that Thomas Billington has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Thomas Billington seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
