Undercard bout

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