Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Verneri Ahma (ranked 84 p4p, 160 weight class) and Fiyero Lermontov (ranked 13 p4p, 25 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Verneri Ahma has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Verneri Ahma seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
