Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pertti Kalmakoura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rubert Kuminauha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kuminauha has chosen Celine Dion - Just Walk Away as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Pertti Kalmakoura has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pertti Kalmakoura seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
