Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tex Jackson (ranked 23908 p4p, 4322 weight class) and Roy Reddick (ranked 572 p4p, 444 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Tex Jackson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tex Jackson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
