Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vos Zy (ranked 1242 p4p, 2472 weight class) and Kree P Krawlee (ranked 147 p4p, 271 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Krawlee's choice of entrance music: Sail. On his way into the cage it seems that Vos Zy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vos Zy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
