Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sadaharu Tanikawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

On his way into the cage it seems that John Li has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily John Li seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
