Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Macca Outback (ranked 35 p4p, 117 weight class) and Cooper Roos (ranked 6 p4p, 19 weight class). Roos has chosen EASY MONEY as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Macca Outback has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Macca Outback seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
