Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jay Alderete (ranked 5910 p4p, 6058 weight class) and Bud Light (ranked 468 p4p, 477 weight class). Jay Alderete had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the cage it seems that Jay Alderete has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jay Alderete seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
