Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between George Ang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lil Chieck Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ang kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Darude - Sandstorm. The crowd seem to be enjoying Congo's choice of entrance music: U Look Like Mir, I hate Mir. On his way into the cage it seems that George Ang has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily George Ang seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
