Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Meyer Lansky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ralph McGuire Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lansky's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rag’n’Bone Man - Wolves . McGuire Jr is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down. On his way into the cage it seems that Meyer Lansky has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Meyer Lansky seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
