Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hector Linhares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Koski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Linhares comes into the arena with Los Sicarios, Sokol, Koras - A veces blaring out of the sound system. Koski has chosen Accept - Head Over Heels as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Hector Linhares has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hector Linhares seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
