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