Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Frank Stallone (ranked 2796 p4p, 232 weight class) and Manu Peralta (ranked 2668 p4p, 223 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Peralta's choice of entrance music: Moke boy - Hawaiian kickboxer. On his way into the cage it seems that Frank Stallone has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Frank Stallone seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
