Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Simon Lluoma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rashad Sokoudjou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lluoma's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, New Religion - Duran Duran. On his way into the cage it seems that Simon Lluoma has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Simon Lluoma seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
