Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Bang Pitung (ranked 6987 p4p, 4190 weight class) and Weimin Liaw (ranked 597 p4p, 461 weight class). Pitung comes into the arena with Madball - Born Strong blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the ring it seems that Bang Pitung has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bang Pitung seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
