Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kazaki Fujita (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Youngblood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fujita's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Metallica-Enter Sandman. Youngblood is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Linkin Park - Numb. On his way into the cage it seems that Kazaki Fujita has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kazaki Fujita seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
