Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Beowulf MacDougal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ric Sparkler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think MacDougal might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Gael by Albannach. Sparkler has chosen Walk Like An Egyptian as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Beowulf MacDougal has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Beowulf MacDougal seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
