Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Peter Petrov (ranked 1781 p4p, 1748 weight class) and Joey Horatius (ranked 100 p4p, 98 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Peter Petrov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Peter Petrov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
