Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cristiano Nascimento (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Loholt Pendragon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nascimento comes to the ring accompanied by Symptom of The Universe (1975) . Pendragon has chosen Counting Stars as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the ring it seems that Cristiano Nascimento has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cristiano Nascimento seems to be OK!
