Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Eduardo Dias (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alden Ho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dias might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jorge Ben - Bebete Văobora. On his way into the cage it seems that Eduardo Dias has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eduardo Dias seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
