Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Brit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rory Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brit kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Same in the End. Diaz has chosen Falling Down by Staind as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jimmy Brit has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jimmy Brit seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
