Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kongchai Phetboonme (ranked 176 p4p, 21 weight class) and Will Rock (ranked 53 p4p, 7 weight class). Rock has chosen I Wanna Rock as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Kongchai Phetboonme has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kongchai Phetboonme seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
