Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jan Columbar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zulu Chaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chaka has chosen Bohemian Rapsody as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jan Columbar has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jan Columbar seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mauri Alavaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martinez has chosen Iced Earth - A Question of Heaven as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mauri Alavaara has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mauri Alavaara seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
