Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Davi Nanini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Franklin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

On his way into the cage it seems that Davi Nanini has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Davi Nanini seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
