Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kappi Bateman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bada Bing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bateman comes to the cage accompanied by 20th century boy. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bing's choice of entrance music: Metallica - All Nightmare Long. On his way into the cage it seems that Kappi Bateman has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kappi Bateman seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
