Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Mma (ranked 1263 p4p, 1137 weight class) and John Lawrence (ranked 185 p4p, 169 weight class). Lawrence has chosen No Surrender as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Jeff Mma has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jeff Mma seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
