Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Jefferson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bam Tory (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jefferson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Encore. On his way into the cage it seems that George Jefferson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily George Jefferson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
