Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joaquim Maria (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ja Masterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maria comes to the cage accompanied by Kronos - Bloodtower. Masterson has chosen Hyena -by- Rancid as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Joaquim Maria has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Joaquim Maria seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
