Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jacques Fresco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jussi Murikka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Murikka has chosen Rock'n'Rolla as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jacques Fresco has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jacques Fresco seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
