Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Diego Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thurgood Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jenkins has chosen Mary Jane as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Diego Sanchez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Diego Sanchez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
