Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Bernard Crenshaw (ranked 21443 p4p, 845 weight class) and Aleksandr Sinytsyn (ranked 19607 p4p, 816 weight class). Crenshaw comes to the cage accompanied by Bodies - Drowning Pool. On his way into the cage it seems that Bernard Crenshaw has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bernard Crenshaw seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
