Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mauro Braccianti (ranked 880 p4p, 1702 weight class) and Moussa Bouba (ranked 108 p4p, 212 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Mauro Braccianti has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mauro Braccianti seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
