Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Good (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrzej Sternik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sternik has chosen Skillet - Monster as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Nick Good has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nick Good seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
