Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bill The Kid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Schopenhauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schopenhauer has chosen London Calling as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bill The Kid has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bill The Kid seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
