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