Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chicken Destroyer (ranked 3265 p4p, 340 weight class) and John Starman (ranked 3660 p4p, 375 weight class). Starman has chosen David Bowie - Starman as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Chicken Destroyer has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chicken Destroyer seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
