Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Joaquim Mourao (ranked 2313 p4p, 3245 weight class) and Barry Bonon (ranked 282 p4p, 391 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Joaquim Mourao has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Joaquim Mourao seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
