Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Martin Killer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arik Hazard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Arik Hazard struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 188.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Martin Killer has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Martin Killer seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
