Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kimo Ovaska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chase Rouch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rouch comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Can I kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Kimo Ovaska has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kimo Ovaska seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
