Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Hazzard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buddy Austin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hazzard kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hell's Bells. On his way into the cage it seems that Jack Hazzard has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jack Hazzard seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
