Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Buster Indechops (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Melvin Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Indechops comes to the cage accompanied by Pinch Me. The crowd seem to be enjoying Miller's choice of entrance music: Nero Remix - Feel So Close. On his way into the cage it seems that Buster Indechops has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Buster Indechops seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cruz Jefferson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Valentine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jefferson comes to the cage accompanied by Damian Marley - Welcome to Jamrock. Valentine is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I Buy the Drugs. On his way into the cage it seems that Cruz Jefferson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cruz Jefferson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
