Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Munoz (ranked 1904 p4p, 2409 weight class) and Tevita Maui (ranked 207 p4p, 267 weight class). Maui has chosen Turn Down For What as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Johnny Munoz has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johnny Munoz seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
