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