Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anzor Dankovich (ranked 214 p4p, 547 weight class) and Mike Boomer (ranked 33 p4p, 80 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Anzor Dankovich has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Anzor Dankovich seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
