Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andrzej Fonfara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Voorheez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fonfara comes to the cage accompanied by Luxtorpeda - Autystyczny. Voorheez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Special Ops. On his way into the cage it seems that Andrzej Fonfara has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Andrzej Fonfara seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
