Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thiago Araujo (ranked 2164 p4p, 1010 weight class) and Jack Bullet (ranked 86 p4p, 35 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Thiago Araujo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Thiago Araujo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
