Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Caeas Liege (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Primon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liege comes to the cage accompanied by Ecstasy of Gold. On his way into the cage it seems that Caeas Liege has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Caeas Liege seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
