Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Prince Tonni (ranked 2856 p4p, 317 weight class) and Hitori Hanzo (ranked 4585 p4p, 418 weight class). Hanzo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Last Caress by The Misfits. Prince Tonni had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the cage it seems that Prince Tonni has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Prince Tonni seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
