Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Laszlo (ranked 3478 p4p, 4044 weight class) and Danny Trejo (ranked 397 p4p, 441 weight class). Chooooooooon!

El Mas Bravo De Los Bravos kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Jason Laszlo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jason Laszlo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Make Makkonen was interviewed post fight and said 'All in all, he was better tonight. Maybe i was slightly too confident with my boxing and it did not go that well... I had a perfect camp and preparation, but it is what it is. Congrats brotha, well played!'.
