Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arsene Wenger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ace Popo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Popo has chosen Alter Bridge- Ties that Bind as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Arsene Wenger has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Arsene Wenger seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
