Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Curry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Brewer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Curry comes to the cage accompanied by Molly Malone - The Dubliners. Brewer comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Gangster's Paradise kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Arthur Curry has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Arthur Curry seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
