Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Luke Valentine (ranked 2686 p4p, 1496 weight class) and Manolito Tai Kung (ranked 367 p4p, 231 weight class). Valentine comes into the arena with Jack Stauber - Buttercup blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Luke Valentine has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Luke Valentine seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
