Joe Walsh - In the City kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Rantis Gaumpe has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rantis Gaumpe seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
