Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Adlehyde (ranked 304 p4p, 779 weight class) and Frank Morrison (ranked 50 p4p, 112 weight class). Morrison has chosen Dead By Daylight - Legion Theme as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jack Adlehyde has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jack Adlehyde seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
