Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chris Cyborg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ahiga Otaktay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cyborg might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Awaken . Otaktay has chosen ISIS - THE TOWER as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Chris Cyborg has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chris Cyborg seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
