Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Gleiser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alpo Suhonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suhonen has chosen Ihanaa leijonat, ihanaa! as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Michael Gleiser has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Michael Gleiser seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
