Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marco Alvado (ranked 556 p4p, 72 weight class) and Tony Hibbert (ranked 548 p4p, 69 weight class). Alvado's entrance music is Ichense Dub. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Marco Alvado has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Marco Alvado seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
