Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tatsuo Nakano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eks Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nakano's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Disturbed - Decadance. Man has chosen The Prodigy 'Invaders Must Die' as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Tatsuo Nakano has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tatsuo Nakano seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
