Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chest Mangold (ranked 1377 p4p, 1337 weight class) and Anti Happy (ranked 130 p4p, 128 weight class). Happy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bvana iz lagune & Mikri Maus - AntiHepi. On his way into the cage it seems that Chest Mangold has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chest Mangold seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jax Chambers (ranked 394 p4p, 551 weight class) and Saul Goodman (ranked 21 p4p, 30 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Jax Chambers has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jax Chambers seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
