Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ansgar Axelsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cristiano Nascimento (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Axelsson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to one bourbon one scotch one beer. Nascimento has chosen Symptom of The Universe (1975) as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Ansgar Axelsson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ansgar Axelsson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
