Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Peder Bjornsund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hattori Hanzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hanzo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The whistle song. On his way into the cage it seems that Peder Bjornsund has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Peder Bjornsund seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
