Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Etan Seeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincenzo Vitalli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vitalli is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: i kill cause im hungry. On his way into the cage it seems that Etan Seeman has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Etan Seeman seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
