Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Per Saukko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Plant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Plant comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Au innebunit salcamii kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Per Saukko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Per Saukko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
