Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Link Gaetz (ranked 412 p4p, 53 weight class) and Gorgon Zola (ranked 374 p4p, 49 weight class). Zola has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Link Gaetz has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Link Gaetz seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
