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