Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jake From Statefarm (ranked 1513 p4p, 1551 weight class) and Alvro Machado (ranked 162 p4p, 166 weight class). Alvro Machado struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Jake From Statefarm has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jake From Statefarm seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
