Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dominic Vera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Baker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vera comes to the cage accompanied by call to prayer. On his way into the cage it seems that Dominic Vera has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dominic Vera seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
