Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mertsi Peltola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Otto Kaikkonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kaikkonen is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Duran Duran - WIld Boys. On his way into the cage it seems that Mertsi Peltola has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mertsi Peltola seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
