Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Serious Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fransuave Doobney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Black might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Megadeth Public Enemy No.1. The crowd seem to be enjoying Doobney's choice of entrance music: L_TIz# . On his way into the cage it seems that Serious Black has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Serious Black seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
