Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikael Eriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kuba Eliasz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eriksson comes to the cage accompanied by Nonpoint - In the Air Tonight. Eliasz has chosen Ortega as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Mikael Eriksson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mikael Eriksson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
