Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kimo Ovaska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Flagon Sackett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Sackett's choice of entrance music: RATM: Killing in the Name. On his way into the cage it seems that Kimo Ovaska has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kimo Ovaska seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
