Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kobay Gary (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Daniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daniels has chosen Military Soviet Hymn as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Kobay Gary has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kobay Gary seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
