Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hudson Clarkson (ranked 2902 p4p, 1835 weight class) and Osiris Maharajah (ranked 354 p4p, 233 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Hudson Clarkson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hudson Clarkson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
