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