Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Orla Wanker (ranked 5487 p4p, 446 weight class) and Wesley Snyder (ranked 2829 p4p, 298 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Orla Wanker has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Orla Wanker seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
