Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Psiris Fuhren (ranked 2581 p4p, 2396 weight class) and Longsun Zhao (ranked 337 p4p, 313 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Psiris Fuhren has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Psiris Fuhren seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
