Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Justin Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Angus MacTavish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Justin Smith has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Justin Smith seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between George Lonkar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tito Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
