Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chester Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rumina Sato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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