Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Chaelsson (ranked 255 p4p, 9 weight class) and Fausto Carsara (ranked 459 p4p, 9 weight class). Carsara is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: E'sord Luché. On his way into the cage it seems that Patrick Chaelsson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Patrick Chaelsson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
