Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Hendricks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Linkin Portier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hendricks 's entrance music is x. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Ricardo Hendricks has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ricardo Hendricks seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
