Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lasse Rantala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwayn Lazovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rantala's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Roy Jones Jr - Can´t Be Touched. Lazovich is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Madonna - Frozen. On his way into the cage it seems that Lasse Rantala has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lasse Rantala seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
