Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexey Potapenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Starker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Starker has chosen Under Milk Wood as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Alexey Potapenko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alexey Potapenko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
