Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Folignus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evangelista Nunes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Folignus comes to the cage accompanied by Laces Out. Nunes is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Never Be Alone. On his way into the cage it seems that Nick Folignus has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nick Folignus seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
