Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kos Pellegrino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Santeri Sikaniska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pellegrino might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Meiju Suvas - Pure Mua. Sikaniska has chosen 2 Brothers on the 4th floor - Fairytales as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Kos Pellegrino has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kos Pellegrino seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
