Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mario Cruz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolex Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cruz's entrance music is Violator - Destined To Die. A fine choice. Gracie is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Amon Amart . On his way into the cage it seems that Mario Cruz has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mario Cruz seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
