Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sonny Gilchrist (ranked 3177 p4p, 289 weight class) and Adrian Petrov (ranked 4820 p4p, 375 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Sonny Gilchrist has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sonny Gilchrist seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
