Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jean Sebastien Blais (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zion Wainui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blais's entrance music is Metallica - One. A fine choice. Wainui has chosen "Rockafella Skank" Fatboy Slim as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jean Sebastien Blais has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jean Sebastien Blais seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
