Fonzarelli has chosen Eminem - When I'm Gone as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Mieczyslaw Grabowski has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mieczyslaw Grabowski seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
