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