Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Justin Kulina (ranked 1189 p4p, 1449 weight class) and Young Prodigy (ranked 160 p4p, 195 weight class). Kulina kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tool - Schism. On his way into the cage it seems that Justin Kulina has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Justin Kulina seems to be OK!
