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