Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sigvard Engelbrekt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mohammed Hossain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Engelbrekt comes into the arena with Rome - Der Brandtaucher blaring out of the sound system. Hossain has chosen Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Sigvard Engelbrekt has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sigvard Engelbrekt seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
