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