Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vitorio Santos (ranked 6372 p4p, 4135 weight class) and Glenn Greenwald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Vitorio Santos has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vitorio Santos seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
