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