Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Randy Gonzales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jarmo Laukkanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laukkanen has chosen The Mutilation of Christ as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Randy Gonzales has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Randy Gonzales seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
