|
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Eric Draven (ranked 4440 p4p, 5988 weight class) and Thorvald Espensen (ranked 508 p4p, 567 weight class). On his way into the ring it seems that Eric Draven has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Eric Draven seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
