Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Marcin Nevinyrral (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paolo Gallo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gallo comes into a darkened arena with his song building. B.Y.O.B. kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Marcin Nevinyrral had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the cage it seems that Marcin Nevinyrral has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marcin Nevinyrral seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
