Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colin Penn (ranked 2074 p4p, 1746 weight class) and Peoples Champion (ranked 251 p4p, 201 weight class). Penn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The End. Champion has chosen Aegukka as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Colin Penn has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Colin Penn seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
