Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ramon Escobar Chavez (ranked 1211 p4p, 133 weight class) and Manuel La Bor (ranked 1156 p4p, 128 weight class). Escobar Chavez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Buena Vista Social Club - Hasta Siempre. La Bor is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Centuries. On his way into the cage it seems that Ramon Escobar Chavez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ramon Escobar Chavez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
