Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jon Miocic (ranked 3383 p4p, 3718 weight class) and Paulie Soprano (ranked 127 p4p, 137 weight class). Miocic comes to the cage accompanied by God Gave Me Style - 50 Cent. On his way into the cage it seems that Jon Miocic has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jon Miocic seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
