Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alan Dzagoev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bastien Le Nogue (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Le Nogue has chosen Scred Connexion - Partis de rien as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Alan Dzagoev has been attacked by a crazed fan!
