Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Drew Sexton (ranked 3268 p4p, 365 weight class) and Danny Wyadd (ranked 3232 p4p, 361 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Drew Sexton has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Drew Sexton seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
