Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Francisco Salgado (ranked 1016 p4p, 108 weight class) and Matt Black (ranked 1269 p4p, 136 weight class). Black has chosen Manu Chao - Mr. Bobby as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Francisco Salgado has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Francisco Salgado seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
