Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Walters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Niko Sirkiä (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walters's entrance music is The Gasher – Written and recorded by Pearl Jam . A fine choice. Sirkiä has chosen Thergothon - Elemental as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Joe Walters has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Joe Walters seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
