Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lokoto Kolyok (ranked 25495 p4p, 5379 weight class) and Vincent Manning (ranked 503 p4p, 465 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Manning's choice of entrance music: Overseas - Ken Carson. On his way into the ring it seems that Lokoto Kolyok has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lokoto Kolyok seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
