Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yuta Sanguiao (ranked 5005 p4p, 2560 weight class) and Ajin Heceda (ranked 401 p4p, 265 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Heceda's choice of entrance music: Believer. On his way into the ring it seems that Yuta Sanguiao has been attacked by a crazed fan!
