Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shannon Larratt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ross Gleeson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larratt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cannibal Corpse - Stripped, Raped and Strangled. On his way into the cage it seems that Shannon Larratt has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Shannon Larratt seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
