Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vlad The Impaler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson Jones had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the cage it seems that Anderson Jones has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Anderson Jones seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
