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