Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tony Ramos (ranked 253 p4p, 14 weight class) and Mini Stipe (ranked 515 p4p, 27 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Tony Ramos has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tony Ramos seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
