Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between James Kirk (ranked 1579 p4p, 497 weight class) and Gus McCrae (ranked 242 p4p, 76 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that James Kirk has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily James Kirk seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
