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