Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vitaliy Suchev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and AJ Foster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Foster is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I Still Believe. On his way into the cage it seems that Vitaliy Suchev has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vitaliy Suchev seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
