Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Brewer (ranked 417 p4p, 48 weight class) and Robert Boone (ranked 1397 p4p, 159 weight class). Brewer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gangster's Paradise. On his way into the cage it seems that Frank Brewer has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Frank Brewer seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
