Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Veikko Karhu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michal Iksinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karhu comes into the arena with Nine / Make Or Take blaring out of the sound system. Iksinski has chosen Skyrim Theme as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Veikko Karhu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Veikko Karhu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
