Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yan Beliveau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodolfo Corvi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodolfo Corvi struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Yan Beliveau has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Yan Beliveau seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
