Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Itagaki Fukuzawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alphons Draclau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fukuzawa's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, In Flames - Colony. On his way into the cage it seems that Itagaki Fukuzawa has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Itagaki Fukuzawa seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
