Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chamuaknoi Sitsongrit (ranked 20 p4p, 223 weight class) and Tomoe Gozen (ranked 5 p4p, 33 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Chamuaknoi Sitsongrit has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chamuaknoi Sitsongrit seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rod De Minaur (ranked 53 p4p, 143 weight class) and Yodsingkhun Sitsongrit (ranked 6 p4p, 21 weight class).

It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rod De Minaur seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
