Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manny Johnson (ranked 91 p4p, 200 weight class) and Lenny Kowalski (ranked 16 p4p, 34 weight class). Johnson comes to the cage accompanied by On The Run . On his way into the cage it seems that Manny Johnson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Manny Johnson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
