Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kollaa River (ranked 550 p4p, 425 weight class) and Santiago Costa (ranked 86 p4p, 63 weight class). River comes into the arena with For Heavy Metal we will die! blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Kollaa River has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kollaa River seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
