Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles DaCoca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sawyer Hume (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Charles DaCoca has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Charles DaCoca seems to be OK!
