Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Screech Powers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Costa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Costa is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Champion Sound by DJ Marky (Total Science RMX). On his way into the cage it seems that Screech Powers has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Screech Powers seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
