Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stash Kadowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alvaro Ibanez Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kadowski comes to the cage accompanied by Rammstein - Ohne Dich . On his way into the cage it seems that Stash Kadowski has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Stash Kadowski seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
