Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Scott Murley (ranked 572 p4p, 93 weight class) and Jean-Claude Marceau (ranked 561 p4p, 91 weight class). Murley comes into the arena with Rage Against The Machine | Bulls On Parade blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Scott Murley has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Scott Murley seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
