Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Batuhan Jaruud (ranked 1482 p4p, 196 weight class) and Alen Ohanian (ranked 2502 p4p, 281 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jaruud might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Three 6 Mafia - Side to Side. Ohanian has chosen The Eternals - Wrath of Zeus as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Batuhan Jaruud has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Batuhan Jaruud seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
