Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dean Gaines (ranked 906 p4p, 1178 weight class) and Scythe Lehto (ranked 123 p4p, 155 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Dean Gaines has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dean Gaines seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
