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