Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Albert Einstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josh Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Einstein might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Angra - Mystery Machine. On his way into the cage it seems that Albert Einstein has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Albert Einstein seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
