Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Moe Lester (ranked 2070 p4p, 231 weight class) and Isaac Frye (ranked 1379 p4p, 164 weight class). Frye has chosen Bombshell as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Moe Lester has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Moe Lester seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
