Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Iti Malia (ranked 1237 p4p, 170 weight class) and Carl Sweetchuck (ranked 2128 p4p, 272 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Iti Malia has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Iti Malia seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
