Hlervu comes to the cage accompanied by Al Qawlu Qawlu Sawarim. Haa has chosen Her kommer Heismann Hå as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Braynas Hlervu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Braynas Hlervu seems to be OK!
