Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Paul Kositzky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hintu Ramoata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kositzky might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Schwarz zu Blau. On his way into the cage it seems that Paul Kositzky has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Paul Kositzky seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
