Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between fred guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugh Jorgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hugh Jorgan struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that fred guy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily fred guy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
