Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kirk Karwoski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Douglas Quaid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

On his way into the cage it seems that Kirk Karwoski has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kirk Karwoski seems to be OK!
