Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Artyom Kozlov (ranked 2240 p4p, 2448 weight class) and George Sagapolutele (ranked 101 p4p, 82 weight class). Sagapolutele has chosen Haka War Dance as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Artyom Kozlov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Artyom Kozlov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
