Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rodion Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roberts comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Go to Sleep kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Rodion Gracie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rodion Gracie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
