Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Denzel Hastings (ranked 25655 p4p, 4213 weight class) and Kiniii Kong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Denzel Hastings has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Denzel Hastings seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
