Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Konrad Husky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johny Chambers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Konrad Husky had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the cage it seems that Konrad Husky has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Konrad Husky seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
