Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karim Johnson (ranked 70 p4p, 205 weight class) and Genghis Khan (ranked 1 p4p, 8 weight class). Johnson comes to the cage accompanied by Don't say nuthin'. On his way into the cage it seems that Karim Johnson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Karim Johnson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
