Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dmitry Borschev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tore Rebo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Rebo's choice of entrance music: Papa Roach - Burn. On his way into the cage it seems that Dmitry Borschev has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dmitry Borschev seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
