Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dixon Ulster (ranked 1530 p4p, 189 weight class) and Joseph Jantan (ranked 1081 p4p, 135 weight class). Ulster comes to the cage accompanied by Alternative Ulster/ Stiff Little Fingers. Jantan comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ramstein- Du Hast kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Dixon Ulster has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dixon Ulster seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
