Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vadim Finkle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vlad Krukiov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Finkle comes into the arena with Traffic blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Vadim Finkle has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vadim Finkle seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
