Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Reza Madadi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tic Tac (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reza Madadi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.3lbs, 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 cage it seems that Reza Madadi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Reza Madadi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
