Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between LeBron Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle ONeill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). ONeill has chosen I believe as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kyle ONeill struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that LeBron Johnson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily LeBron Johnson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
