Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maxim Menshikov (ranked 222 p4p, 35 weight class) and James Pearson (ranked 213 p4p, 34 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Maxim Menshikov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Maxim Menshikov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
