Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Royce Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silverback Lesnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lesnar has chosen go coors! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Royce Gracie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Royce Gracie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
