Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wanderlei Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bob Roberts had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the cage it seems that Bob Roberts has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bob Roberts seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
