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