Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dack Fayden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jethro Rusted (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Dack Fayden has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dack Fayden seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
