Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ayumu Hirohito (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kelly comes to the ring accompanied by Black Belt Jones Theme Song, you Jive Turkey!. Hirohito has chosen The Vapors - I think I'm turning Japanese as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Jim Kelly has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jim Kelly seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
