Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gennady Golovkin (ranked 1456 p4p, 176 weight class) and Akimbo Spice (ranked 1293 p4p, 159 weight class). Spice is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sean Price - Hot ft. Rock [Kimbo Price Mixtape]. On his way into the cage it seems that Gennady Golovkin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gennady Golovkin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
