Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Erkki Elastinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sub Hero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Elastinen's entrance music is Cascada - Dangerous. A fine choice. Hero is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Giant Squid - Panthalassa. On his way into the cage it seems that Erkki Elastinen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Erkki Elastinen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
