Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Phillip Phillips (ranked 2653 p4p, 3428 weight class) and Matias Fialkowska (ranked 266 p4p, 321 weight class). Fialkowska has chosen The Dragonborn Cometh as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Phillip Phillips has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Phillip Phillips seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
