Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Law (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernando Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diaz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Boombastic (Mr Lover Lover) by Shaggy. On his way into the cage it seems that Jackson Law has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jackson Law seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
