Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brown Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Touko Unikeko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilson comes to the cage accompanied by crazy bitch. The crowd seem to be enjoying Unikeko's choice of entrance music: Gesaffelstein - Opr. On his way into the cage it seems that Brown Wilson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Brown Wilson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
