Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jake Bird (ranked 850 p4p, 495 weight class) and Ryszard Wojcik (ranked 118 p4p, 70 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Jake Bird has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jake Bird seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
