Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bang Pitung (ranked 811 p4p, 99 weight class) and Solomon Wilson (ranked 2534 p4p, 274 weight class). Pitung kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bars of Death - Radio Raheem. Wilson has chosen Simple Math - By: DL Incognito as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bang Pitung has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bang Pitung seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
