Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Helge Fossmo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Black Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fossmo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Helge Fossmo predikar. On his way into the cage it seems that Helge Fossmo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Helge Fossmo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
