Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mounir Ayari (ranked 133 p4p, 332 weight class) and Joe Diddy (ranked 21 p4p, 46 weight class). Ayari comes to the cage accompanied by Sara Al Zakaria - Ekht Rjal. Diddy has chosen lvl99ROIDMAGE as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mounir Ayari has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mounir Ayari seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
