Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Illias Stefano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugo Stiglitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stiglitz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ecstasy of Gold. On his way into the cage it seems that Illias Stefano has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Illias Stefano seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
