Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Landry (ranked 2229 p4p, 268 weight class) and Abdul Rahman (ranked 1644 p4p, 202 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Ryan Landry has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ryan Landry seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
