Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ranger Alderidge (ranked 159 p4p, 278 weight class) and Rob Roy (ranked 21 p4p, 40 weight class). Alderidge comes to the cage accompanied by Portland, Oregon. On his way into the cage it seems that Ranger Alderidge has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ranger Alderidge seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
