Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hinto Kangee (ranked 455 p4p, 1434 weight class) and Schwartz Gomez (ranked 58 p4p, 179 weight class). Kangee comes to the cage accompanied by Kalush Orchestra - Stefania. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gomez's choice of entrance music: POP SMOKE - GOT IT ON ME. On his way into the cage it seems that Hinto Kangee has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hinto Kangee seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
