Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tommi Neponen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Birger Magnusson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Tommi Neponen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tommi Neponen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rauno Rauhala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Torsten Karlsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
