Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Saku Sammakko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krilich Berglomi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sammakko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Saku Sammakko. The crowd seem to be enjoying Berglomi's choice of entrance music: Gargaj - Rude Awakening. On his way into the ring it seems that Saku Sammakko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Saku Sammakko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
