Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Genghis Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luca Turilli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khan's entrance music is Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World. A fine choice. Turilli has chosen krolithika as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Genghis Khan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Genghis Khan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
