Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Dayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Hippo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dayne comes to the cage accompanied by South of Heaven. On his way into the cage it seems that Arthur Dayne has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Arthur Dayne seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
