Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mister Gloves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shinnosuke Nohara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nohara is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Dame Dame no Uta. On his way into the cage it seems that Mister Gloves has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mister Gloves seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
