Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Oroku Saki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Sylva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adam Sylva struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Oroku Saki has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Oroku Saki seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
