Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Haplopelma Hainanum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Capwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hainanum comes to the cage accompanied by Kryptonite by Three Doors Down. Capwell comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Haunted - 99 kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Haplopelma Hainanum has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Haplopelma Hainanum seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
