Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rusoposkinen Clintsari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Pacquiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pacquiao is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Phenomenal. On his way into the cage it seems that Rusoposkinen Clintsari has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rusoposkinen Clintsari seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
