Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tim Logo (ranked 4459 p4p, 328 weight class) and Stan Dickinson (ranked 3645 p4p, 278 weight class). Dickinson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Dizzee Rascal - Fix up look sharp. On his way into the cage it seems that Tim Logo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tim Logo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
