Main event

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vladamir Fedetenko (ranked 57 p4p, 183 weight class) and Last Nightmare (ranked 10 p4p, 24 weight class). Fedetenko's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Home Back. On his way into the cage it seems that Vladamir Fedetenko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vladamir Fedetenko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
