Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Braylon Beswicke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Lightfoot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beswicke comes to the cage accompanied by Kick in the teeth. On his way into the cage it seems that Braylon Beswicke has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Braylon Beswicke seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
