Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Scarce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexei Sidorenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Scarce's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Monster. On his way into the cage it seems that Tony Scarce has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tony Scarce seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
