Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ima Turtle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Aldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Ima Turtle has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ima Turtle seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
