Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Donny Meyers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Patterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Meyers comes to the cage accompanied by Iron Man by Ozzy Osborne. Patterson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tech N9ne - Like Yeah. On his way into the cage it seems that Donny Meyers has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Donny Meyers seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
