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