Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jiguro Kamoko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucas Saber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saber is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Walk This Way. On his way into the cage it seems that Jiguro Kamoko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jiguro Kamoko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
