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