Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Damien The Omen (ranked 2088 p4p, 264 weight class) and Jay Steve (ranked 2245 p4p, 281 weight class). The Omen's entrance music is Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden. A fine choice. Steve is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Deetox - Headknocker. On his way into the cage it seems that Damien The Omen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Damien The Omen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
