Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lord Viceroy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucifer Satan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Satan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Disciple. On his way into the cage it seems that Lord Viceroy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lord Viceroy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
