Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Philip Driver (ranked 3597 p4p, 3613 weight class) and Sterling Turner (ranked 460 p4p, 461 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Philip Driver has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Philip Driver seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
