Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Casper Timmermans (ranked 362 p4p, 47 weight class) and Anton Obuhov (ranked 444 p4p, 55 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Casper Timmermans has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Casper Timmermans seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
