Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michel Robillard (ranked 1620 p4p, 2023 weight class) and Jacek Siuta (ranked 216 p4p, 254 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Siuta's choice of entrance music: "The Ecstasy of Gold" Ennio Morricone. On his way into the cage it seems that Michel Robillard has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Michel Robillard seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
