Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nufro Cacho (ranked 3588 p4p, 645 weight class) and Guilherme Godoi (ranked 0 p4p, 90 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Nufro Cacho has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nufro Cacho seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
