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