Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Wait (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anselmi Horila (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

On his way into the ring it seems that Danny Wait has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Danny Wait seems to be OK!
