Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yuichiro Nagashima (ranked 583 p4p, 2552 weight class) and Duke Nukem (ranked 61 p4p, 216 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Yuichiro Nagashima has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Yuichiro Nagashima seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
