Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pho Hunna (ranked 155 p4p, 245 weight class) and Otto McBean (ranked 16 p4p, 22 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Pho Hunna has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pho Hunna seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
