Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mihail Dmitriev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and JR Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adams has chosen 'Looking For The Stone' by Dry Branch Fire Squad as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mihail Dmitriev has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mihail Dmitriev seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
