Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jani Antell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edgar Frog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Frog has chosen I Still Believe as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jani Antell has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jani Antell seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
