Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles Menezes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Crichton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Menezes's entrance music is Charlinho, o menino que só queria estudar - Hermes & Renato. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Charles Menezes has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Charles Menezes seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
