Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carmelo Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams has chosen Robot Rock-Daft Punk as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Carmelo Sanchez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Carmelo Sanchez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
