Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Oliver Reed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Aman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reed comes to the cage accompanied by Jean Baptiste Lully - Marche Royale. Aman has chosen We Believe as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Oliver Reed has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Oliver Reed seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
