Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Grigor Boo (ranked 5225 p4p, 5820 weight class) and Mark Badder (ranked 483 p4p, 505 weight class). Grigor Boo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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 Grigor Boo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Grigor Boo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
