Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ashur Syrian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Welsh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Welsh's choice of entrance music: Wicked. On his way into the cage it seems that Ashur Syrian has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ashur Syrian seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
