Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gary Dove (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Suzuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suzuki has chosen Codename 47 as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Gary Dove has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gary Dove seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
