Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Caeas Liege (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lex Wight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liege comes to the cage accompanied by Will T. Bear: For a Few Dollars . 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!?
