Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yannick Sakala (ranked 415 p4p, 766 weight class) and Jimbo Gregor (ranked 53 p4p, 103 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sakala might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pole Pole. On his way into the cage it seems that Yannick Sakala has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Yannick Sakala seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
