Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Steven Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mouritz Opperman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steven Smith had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the ring it seems that Steven Smith has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Steven Smith seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
