Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Greco Roman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergiy Sklyar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sklyar comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Scarface - No Tears kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Greco Roman has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Greco Roman seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
