Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Rock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hannibal Barkas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Barkas's choice of entrance music: Civil war. Hannibal Barkas struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. On his way into the cage it seems that Tommy Rock has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tommy Rock seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
