Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lorenzo Brogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Arlovski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Arlovski has chosen Hunt You Down as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Lorenzo Brogan has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Lorenzo Brogan seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
