Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kauko Partio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Guster Spencer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Partio comes to the cage accompanied by Popeda - Mä elän vieläkin. Spencer is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by A Country Boy Can Survive. On his way into the cage it seems that Kauko Partio has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kauko Partio seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
