Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Pearson (ranked 1634 p4p, 190 weight class) and Albert Ricci (ranked 1138 p4p, 128 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Johnny Pearson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johnny Pearson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
