Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kjetil Olsen (ranked 1185 p4p, 800 weight class) and Peoples Champion (ranked 141 p4p, 93 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Champion's choice of entrance music: Aegukka. On his way into the cage it seems that Kjetil Olsen has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kjetil Olsen seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
