Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zico Macedo (ranked 2905 p4p, 2457 weight class) and Charles Weasel (ranked 374 p4p, 325 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Macedo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hino Nacional do Brasil. On his way into the cage it seems that Zico Macedo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Zico Macedo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
