Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Guy Masterson (ranked 3461 p4p, 4243 weight class) and Nikita Ivanov (ranked 363 p4p, 427 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Guy Masterson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Guy Masterson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
