Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Lee (ranked 5920 p4p, 6001 weight class) and Chaikka Chai (ranked 613 p4p, 620 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Michael Lee has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Michael Lee seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
