Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Richard The Enforcer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roberto Federici (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Federici is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Con Te Partiro. On his way into the cage it seems that Richard The Enforcer has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Richard The Enforcer seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
