Undercard bout

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