Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Wu Fei Chung (ranked 726 p4p, 81 weight class) and Don Juan Matus (ranked 1487 p4p, 152 weight class). Fei Chung comes to the cage accompanied by God of Gamblers. Matus is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Crow Spirit. On his way into the cage it seems that Wu Fei Chung has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Wu Fei Chung seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
