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