Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Huey Winner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Winner comes to the cage accompanied by It's time for war. Smith is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Guerilla Radio by RATM. On his way into the cage it seems that Huey Winner has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Huey Winner seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
