Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leonard Asmodeus (ranked 1683 p4p, 3488 weight class) and David McDonald (ranked 200 p4p, 361 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying McDonald's choice of entrance music: Hell's Coming With Me. On his way into the cage it seems that Leonard Asmodeus has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Leonard Asmodeus seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
