Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joao Do Fogao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrion Lannister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Joao Do Fogao has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Joao Do Fogao seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
