Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marc Manuel (ranked 4258 p4p, 419 weight class) and Deandre Miller (ranked 6233 p4p, 523 weight class). Deandre Miller struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Marc Manuel has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marc Manuel seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
