Co-main event

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Robert Sito (ranked 403 p4p, 243 weight class) and Bryant Smith (ranked 55 p4p, 35 weight class). Smith has chosen Television - Marquee Moon as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Robert Sito has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Robert Sito seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
