Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Janos Lieu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Cerrone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lieu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. On his way into the cage it seems that Janos Lieu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Janos Lieu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
