Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Will Genia (ranked 625 p4p, 91 weight class) and Daniel Mosby (ranked 400 p4p, 55 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Will Genia has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Will Genia seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
