Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dean Corll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doug Pattersson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corll comes into the arena with South Texas Death Ride blaring out of the sound system. Pattersson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Banana song Peel Banana. On his way into the cage it seems that Dean Corll has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dean Corll seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
