Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Weed Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dimas Boykiy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boykiy is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Перемен. On his way into the cage it seems that Weed Man has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Weed Man seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
