Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zachariah Nembia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gilbert Schilt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nembia's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bankrobber by The Clash. On his way into the cage it seems that Zachariah Nembia has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Zachariah Nembia seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
