Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pound Mcgee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Asaki Hioko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mcgee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane. On his way into the cage it seems that Pound Mcgee has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Pound Mcgee seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
