Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hannu Karpo (ranked 748 p4p, 3015 weight class) and Billy Cubbedge (ranked 96 p4p, 384 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Hannu Karpo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hannu Karpo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
