Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eliz Gracie (ranked 1409 p4p, 1975 weight class) and Morten Larsen (ranked 204 p4p, 279 weight class). Gracie's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Forgot About Dre- Dr Dre & Eminem. On his way into the cage it seems that Eliz Gracie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eliz Gracie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
