Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roberto Heredia (ranked 2432 p4p, 2590 weight class) and Valentino Jufre (ranked 70 p4p, 163 weight class). Heredia comes to the cage accompanied by Moncho Chavea, Deikirisy Escopeta. On his way into the cage it seems that Roberto Heredia has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Roberto Heredia seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
