Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Baba Yaga (ranked 2156 p4p, 391 weight class) and Alexis Machine (ranked 243 p4p, 49 weight class). Machine has chosen Satan Is Real as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Baba Yaga has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Baba Yaga seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
