Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sunil Ganga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Feilo Meloy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ganga's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eye of the Tiger. Meloy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hypocrisy - Apocalypse. On his way into the cage it seems that Sunil Ganga has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sunil Ganga seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
