Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Oswaldo Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Panzer Grenadier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanchez comes to the cage accompanied by In The Ghetto - By Elvis Presley. Grenadier has chosen Esaka '96 as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Oswaldo Sanchez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Oswaldo Sanchez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
