Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Halme (ranked 3662 p4p, 4322 weight class) and Mike Maron (ranked 195 p4p, 218 weight class). Halme comes to the cage accompanied by Katri Helena-Katson autiota hiekkarantaa. On his way into the cage it seems that Tony Halme has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tony Halme seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
