Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lester Karnage (ranked 1374 p4p, 4013 weight class) and Mustafa Owens (ranked 172 p4p, 480 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Lester Karnage has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lester Karnage seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
