Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thorfinn Oden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raul Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oden's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Element Eighty-Pancake Land. On his way into the cage it seems that Thorfinn Oden has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Thorfinn Oden seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
