Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ara Tiotio (ranked 186 p4p, 900 weight class) and Olli Lindholm (ranked 28 p4p, 119 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Ara Tiotio has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ara Tiotio seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
