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