Undercard bout

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