Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Enver Karacan (ranked 416 p4p, 524 weight class) and Holden Easterly (ranked 56 p4p, 70 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Enver Karacan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Enver Karacan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
