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

That's three minutes gone in the round. Pupoo tries to control Foote's head but Foote pushes him back down and moves quickly to lock up an arm here - he's swung around for an armbar! Will he get it??? Yes! Pupoo is tapping out! Lovely Jiu Jitsu there!
