Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rampake Jakkisonni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Garo Gambini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jakkisonni comes into the arena with Busta Rhymes - Arab money blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Rampake Jakkisonni has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rampake Jakkisonni seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
