Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Park Yo Ka (ranked 786 p4p, 1938 weight class) and Wing Wang (ranked 123 p4p, 282 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Park Yo Ka has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Park Yo Ka seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
