Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between DJ Boom (ranked 743 p4p, 73 weight class) and Lin Shui (ranked 2855 p4p, 288 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that DJ Boom has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily DJ Boom seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
