Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vajas Tomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luca Turilli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tomas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wasted Years. Turilli has chosen krolithika as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Vajas Tomas has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vajas Tomas seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
