Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dawda Toure (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ras Butten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Butten has chosen Apoptygma Berzerk - Fade to Black as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Dawda Toure has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dawda Toure seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
