Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dave Gomes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anton Chekhov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gomes comes to the cage accompanied by Roadhouse Blues. Chekhov has chosen КАТЮШA as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Dave Gomes has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dave Gomes seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
