Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between William Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vega Hartgrave (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rose's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Shackler's Revenge. On his way into the cage it seems that William Rose has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily William Rose seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
