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