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