Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Cruz (ranked 442 p4p, 2655 weight class) and Bill Brown (ranked 66 p4p, 340 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Ricardo Cruz has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ricardo Cruz seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
