Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jie Liu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Bruce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

On his way into the cage it seems that Jie Liu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jie Liu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
