Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Aidan Hopper (ranked 3864 p4p, 3394 weight class) and David Budiman (ranked 419 p4p, 384 weight class). On his way into the ring it seems that Aidan Hopper has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Aidan Hopper seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
