Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Benson Whyte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Whyte comes to the cage accompanied by Bob Marley - Jammin. On his way into the cage it seems that Benson Whyte has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Benson Whyte seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
