Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Esa Tikkanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scotty Bennet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

On his way into the cage it seems that Esa Tikkanen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Esa Tikkanen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
