Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Boaler (ranked 1635 p4p, 1242 weight class) and Joao Andrade (ranked 209 p4p, 166 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Jonathan Boaler has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jonathan Boaler seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
