Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between JT Spirit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabe Manuel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spirit's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Nujabes - Feather. Manuel has chosen Violent Femmes- Blister In the Sun as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that JT Spirit has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily JT Spirit seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
