Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Jan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hale Erwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Judgment night by Biohazard&Onyx. Erwin has chosen Young Jeezy feat. T.I. - F.A.M.E. as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that John Jan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily John Jan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
