Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tapad Amiga (ranked 24306 p4p, 23986 weight class) and Richard John Salvacion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Tapad Amiga has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tapad Amiga seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
