Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Yodsawan Sitsongrit (ranked 253 p4p, 5 weight class) and Brain Fog (ranked 1301 p4p, 49 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Yodsawan Sitsongrit has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Yodsawan Sitsongrit seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
