Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Beasty Kanne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergei Ivanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kanne comes to the cage accompanied by Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Ivanov has chosen HINO RUSSO as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Beasty Kanne has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Beasty Kanne seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
