Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hasse Hansson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Rene (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hansson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Saliva - Click Click Boom. Rene has chosen Billionaire as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Hasse Hansson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hasse Hansson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
