Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Maurits Assndrop (ranked 798 p4p, 694 weight class) and Jacques Turcotte (ranked 90 p4p, 82 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Maurits Assndrop has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Maurits Assndrop seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
