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