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