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