Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Middle Weight (ranked 516 p4p, 69 weight class) and Bug Turd (ranked 1897 p4p, 236 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Middle Weight has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Middle Weight seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
