Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kronos Doomsday (ranked 42 p4p, 48 weight class) and Frank Morrison (ranked 5 p4p, 7 weight class). Doomsday comes into the arena with Main Theme - Doom Eternal blaring out of the sound system. Morrison has chosen Dead By Daylight - Legion Theme as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Kronos Doomsday has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kronos Doomsday seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
