Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ronnie White (ranked 2053 p4p, 1773 weight class) and Ernesto Llosa (ranked 284 p4p, 255 weight class). White kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Battlesick. On his way into the cage it seems that Ronnie White has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ronnie White seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
