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