Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eli Bathory (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kanrosch Timoshenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bathory kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 'Victory' by Gramatik. On his way into the ring it seems that Eli Bathory has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eli Bathory seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
