Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Arshnoor Singh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donovan Robertson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Singh kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 2Pac - Hit 'Em Up. Robertson has chosen When the lights go out as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Arshnoor Singh has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Arshnoor Singh seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
