Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brynrolf Fahnskhap (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Crni Buzdovan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fahnskhap kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Luftens Hjältar. Buzdovan has chosen Fiddy - Gots tha Money as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Brynrolf Fahnskhap has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Brynrolf Fahnskhap seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
