Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kenzo Kulmunki (ranked 40 p4p, 382 weight class) and Trent Temple (ranked 8 p4p, 54 weight class). Temple is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: HonestKey- What My Life For. On his way into the cage it seems that Kenzo Kulmunki has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kenzo Kulmunki seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
