Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Michael Mifsud (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sheikh Hasina Wazed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wazed has chosen Mercedes Sosa - Como la Cigarra as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Michael Mifsud has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Michael Mifsud seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
