Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maro Pjetlic (ranked 1590 p4p, 1170 weight class) and Koto Show (ranked 191 p4p, 141 weight class). Pjetlic comes into the arena with Legend blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Maro Pjetlic has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Maro Pjetlic seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
