Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Toe Licker (ranked 2212 p4p, 2440 weight class) and Mordecai Brown (ranked 212 p4p, 227 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Toe Licker has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Toe Licker seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
