Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sione Finau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcelo Galvoa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Finau comes to the cage accompanied by "Ninja Gaiden" by The Minibosses. On his way into the cage it seems that Sione Finau has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sione Finau seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
