Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Justice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Einar Magn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Justice kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Montana of 300 - Daddy Used to be the Plug. Magn has chosen Thor - Let the Blood Run Red as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Johnny Justice has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johnny Justice seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
