Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sean Jitsu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Gustavsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gustavsson has chosen Shotgun Blues as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Sean Jitsu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sean Jitsu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
