Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aapo Jukola (ranked 910 p4p, 1459 weight class) and Pertti Naulakko (ranked 123 p4p, 196 weight class). Naulakko has chosen Amon Amarth - First Kill as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Aapo Jukola has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Aapo Jukola seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
