Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marko Mihic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robbie Denham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mihic's entrance music is L.L. Cool J - Mama said Knock you Out. A fine choice. Denham has chosen Primal Scream - Miss Lucifer as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Marko Mihic has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marko Mihic seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
