Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eiji Nishijima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Nishijima's choice of entrance music: you a shock. John Brown had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the ring it seems that John Brown has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily John Brown seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
