Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Melvin Kleinsasser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randall Tubzinki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tubzinki has chosen Tube Snake Boogie as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Melvin Kleinsasser has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Melvin Kleinsasser seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
