Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Adrik Vasilev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dum Debble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vasilev comes into the arena with Mr. Probz - Waves (Robin Schulz Remix Radio Edit) blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Adrik Vasilev has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Adrik Vasilev seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
