Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tom Dirk (ranked 687 p4p, 998 weight class) and Joey Deertay (ranked 89 p4p, 120 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Tom Dirk has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tom Dirk seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
