Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Al Astra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josh McCuistion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCuistion is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sunken Hips in Space. On his way into the cage it seems that Al Astra has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Al Astra seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
