Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny LaRusso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). LaRusso comes to the cage accompanied by You're The Best!. Lee is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: On To The Next One. On his way into the cage it seems that Johnny LaRusso has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johnny LaRusso seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
