Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Shepherd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ahmad Nabijos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shepherd's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Head Like A Hole - Nine Inch Nails. Nabijos has chosen NYC Crack - Wu Tang Clan as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Frankie Shepherd has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Frankie Shepherd seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
