Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aharon Sarkisyan (ranked 84 p4p, 15 weight class) and Rosinante Costacurta (ranked 296 p4p, 36 weight class). Sarkisyan comes to the cage accompanied by Ara Gevorgyan - Artsakh. On his way into the cage it seems that Aharon Sarkisyan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Aharon Sarkisyan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
