Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robert Oppenheimer (ranked 6138 p4p, 24168 weight class) and Joakim Broden (ranked 596 p4p, 645 weight class). Broden is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: SABATON - Swedish Pagans. On his way into the cage it seems that Robert Oppenheimer has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Robert Oppenheimer seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
