Makkonen comes to the cage accompanied by Metsämiehen Laulu. Connen has chosen Rock You Like a Hurricane as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Aulis Makkonen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Aulis Makkonen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
