Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nelson Biederman (ranked 715 p4p, 1393 weight class) and Seth Mansour (ranked 100 p4p, 203 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Nelson Biederman has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nelson Biederman seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
