Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Terrance Harris (ranked 1882 p4p, 1972 weight class) and Bobby Morino (ranked 253 p4p, 265 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Terrance Harris has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Terrance Harris seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
