Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jutta Urpilainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maximus Overdrive (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Urpilainen comes to the cage accompanied by A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash. On his way into the cage it seems that Jutta Urpilainen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jutta Urpilainen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
