Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mursk Apuro (ranked 1311 p4p, 2754 weight class) and Lotte Jansen (ranked 164 p4p, 316 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Mursk Apuro has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mursk Apuro seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
