Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dmitry Nagiev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jarrett Degrace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nagiev comes to the cage accompanied by Dmitry Nagiev - All I Promised. Degrace has chosen Lakota Honor Song as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Dmitry Nagiev has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dmitry Nagiev seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
